Adventures of Dantgil in #Dickmegle - Part 8

-*- abstersiveTournitro They talked a lot, Vergil thought, picking at the stringy meat on his plate. It tasted like a memory even though the flavor was a little different, like it always was between different people -- recipes always vary -- but it tasted distinctly of home, too. He wondered idly what recipe the woman -- Brenda, wasn't it? -- had used.

-*- abstersiveTournitro He let his mind wander, but tried not to think about the fact that his brother was not seated beside him making wise cracks, but instead some stranger, someone who moved and acted just a little differently from most of the white-eyed population of the extensive Manor. He wondered where -- where Rabbit was.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Oh, yeah. Andy had been working on him, hadn't he?
-*- abstersiveTournitro Maybe he'd -- maybe he'd go see his automaton friend. It was somewhere to go when he stepped out the door after politely finishing his meal.
-*- abstersiveTournitro "Andy," was all that came out, monotonous and bland, ignoring any conversation he might be interrupting (mostly because he hadn't been listening at all). "What did you do with the robot you were fixing?"
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Oh! Where is my head, heheh." Almost forgot about the lil' robot himself, really-- much more interested in the recent wound on Danny's arm rather than the automaton. Sure as sunshine wouldn't show it, though. He takes a moment to wipe his lip with a napkin, before speaking once more. "He's sittin' outside, next to th'genny-- had t'let th'fella cool down fer
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> a spell. Oughta be good by now, I reckon."

-*- Jaspers hardly made any progress on the meal before him at all, really-- only nibbling on the edges and listening to the conversation. He couldn't /quite/ put his tentacle on it, but the beef smelled particularly... well, funny! But maybe not in a /bad/ way? It's strange. Chew chew.

-*- abstersiveTournitro O-oh. Okay. "Mh. I'll go see him after I finish eating..." Vergil trailed off and put his fork down. He mostly did not feel like eating -- he'd rather excuse himself and leave -- but...these people had been so kind and helpful, and his father had always encouraged him to finish his meals completely. (He wondered what his dad would say now.)
-*- abstersiveTournitro It looked like Jaspers had calmed down, too, and was eating a little -- only tiny bits. He wondered how the cat would react if he knew that the same creatures that produced his beloved milk had to be killed to get this meat. Well, not the exact same creatures -- dairy cows and beef cows were diff--
-*- abstersiveTournitro ...
-*- abstersiveTournitro "Where exactly did you get this beef, anyway?"
-*- abstersiveTournitro Stare.
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Why you askin' somethin' like that?" Danny's own  fork was placed down next to his plate, returning Vergil's suspicious stare with a matching one of his own.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman ... Heheh. "Well, we trade with other folks from time t'time fer what we need. We make a lot of th'food we get here from scratch, but that ain't always easy, with th'weather'nd all."

-*- Rabbit if you need me and I don't respond right away I'm making sandwiches
-*- Rabbit also orange for copper
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Sandwiches take first priority fff it is fine uvu
-*- abstersiveTournitro do the sandwiches have mysterious mystery meat from strange hillbillies with bloody closets
-*- abstersiveTournitro if so, the meat's a little chewy
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman m a y b e
-*- abstersiveTournitro just a heads-up
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman  8)
-*- abstersiveTournitro "Interesting. But we are in a dream bubble, and trade is generally unnecessary." Unless you're him, but...he doesn't need to include that right now, okay? "And you have only one cow, but you most certainly took the time to cook and make this meal, from what I heard, meaning that the meat came from somewhere raw. And if you are going to imagine up meat, there is no reason not to simply imagine it cooked."
-*- abstersiveTournitro ...He...he can never really stop once he starts logicking.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman It cut off at 'imagine it cooked'--]]
-*- abstersiveTournitro "So. Where exactly did you get this beef, anyway."
<abstersiveTournitro> [." was all it cut off]
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Mibbit,,,,,,,,]]
-*- Jaspers ... It seemed awfully sunny outside, too! Last Jaspers checked. Sure, maybe it was a teeny bit nippy, but... still. His head leans to the side, looking from Andy to Vergil and back again. "... When is dante gonna be okay again? 3:" He really just felt like going, now. He's really starting to get spooked! The way Vergil is talking, it's like...
-*- Jaspers ... It's like these people are--
-*- Jaspers Are up to nO GOOD--
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Imaginin' food up just ain't th'way we were brought up, y'see. We were taught two things, back when we's were alive-- t'work hard fer what y'get, and not t'waste."
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Yer askin' a lotta questions, boy."
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Well, shoot! He oughta be fine by th'mornin', I take it. Don't got nothin' t'worry 'bout."
-*- abstersiveTournitro "You're not answering very many of them." Something felt wrong and suddenly he felt betrayed, like someone had tricked him -- this place wasn't homely, it was a dungeon, a trap, and he'd made a very vital mistake -- he'd left Dante with these strangers --
-*- abstersiveTournitro He always seemed to fuck everything up.
-*- Jaspers Swear.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Sorry.
-*- Jaspers u^u
<abstersiveTournitro> [oMF COLORS]
-*- Jaspers colors pls]]
-*- abstersiveTournitro  "If you worked hard for this meat, what did you have to kill for it?" He gripped the arms of his chair tightly, as though ready to stand up, fling it back, draw his sword, demand to know what was going on.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He wanted to go home. He wanted to go back to Dante. Anywhere, anywhere but right here, in this void of confusion without him. He should've noticed sooner, but he'd been so freaking stupid.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He had tried to do things on his own because he was stubborn and stupid. But of course, he failed. Couldn't do anything right. Not until it was probably too late.
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "Just what th'hell're you /implyin/'." A hand of Andy's own gripped the edge of the dinner table while one reached behind his back-- as if to grip something unseen, obscured by his back.
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "He /knows/, ma."
<Jaspers> "K-- knows what? 38"
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman ... Sigh. History is damned to repeat itself, she guesses. At least things ought to be easier, now with dying being out of the picture. Her usually warm, polite disposition melted into an almost disappointed, perhaps irritated one. "Y'all don't know what it's like, havin' t'survive out in a world full'a walkin' corpses. Y'know what our world was like? Th'
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> dead got up-- roamed th'streets to eat, eat'nd /eat/ some more! And /now/ what-- we're stuck in a big ol' abyss with some squids'nd sex-crazed ghosts. We've got t'worry 'bout ourselves in this here time'a need!"
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman *c o l o r]]
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "... I taught my boys two things 'fore th'world went down th'crapper."
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "T'work hard fer what we get."
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "And not t'waste."
-*- Jaspers ... He's confused. Confused and scared and-- and--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe BRRRRRAAKKKK.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman CHRISTIAN CHOIR IN TH'CHAPEL--
-*- Rabbit surprise
-*- Rabbit none of your guests are properly human
-*- Rabbit what a tweest
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman we are human tho
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman just
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman hungry
-*- abstersiveTournitro Drawing his swords was a knee-jerk reaction -- walking corpses, can't waste what meat you can get -- he might be more understanding if he wasn't so angry.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman :9
-*- abstersiveTournitro /Your/ guests aren't human, though.
-*- Rabbit is probably just
-*- abstersiveTournitro Even little boy blue here.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe The wood had suddenly splintered beneath their very feet, erupting into a shower of smoke and plaster. The table was torn apart, chewed up like a wood chipper up in violent flames.
-*- Rabbit somewhere off in the distance half dressed and hearing this and confused
-*- Rabbit oh
-*- Rabbit yeah then there's Dante
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And in the middle of it, rising up like Satan himself, was a crackling beast of heat and destruction. Wings outstreched like a bat out of hell, teeth wide open like a lunging great white, it didn't hesitate to strike.
-*- Rabbit will be
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe They may have shackled his feet. They may have drowned him in that fucking vat. They even blessed the door. But they had forgotten one thing.
-*- Rabbit debating whether not to head up to that crazy ass shit, because I'm pretty certain keeping him off at this point is a poor decision-oh no not the vat /again/
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And they--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe THEY WERE GOING TO PAY!
-*- Rabbit even though you don't remember the vat from forever ago and this isn't stuff rabbit knows ignore me
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman I've got /pictures/ to jog your /memory/ if need /be/--
-*- abstersiveTournitro What did they do to him --
-*- Rabbit anyways, he'll be dashing up to the house, tugging on his vest after half hazardly buckeling his belts christ why did he need so many
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Andy needlessly stood as the blade was drawn, brandishing-- what else-- a /gun/. A fuckin' gun. Leave it to the rednecks to bring firearms to the dinner table. Oh, look-- Danny's got himself a gun, at that. Drawn from his specibus, so fluidly like a damn machine that you probably didn't even catch it. ... Rifle, too. Glory.
-*- Rabbit and by dashing I mean doing his old robojog in clunky boots
-*- Jaspers If he were scared by the sight of a bloody, saw-filled room.
-*- Jaspers He's fucking hoRRIFIED of the sight in front of him aaaAAAA *AAAAA*
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And so, before the aerial momentum he had so desperately collected collapsed in this stale, arid room...
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe He was gonna take that cOCKSUCKING MOTHERFUCKER DOWN--
-*- abstersiveTournitro "Jaspers. Run."
<abstersiveTournitro> [fucks with colors casually]
<abstersiveTournitro> [thx Quassel]
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> [[Thank you for rubbing Quassel iNTO MY FACE,,,,]]
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [i WILL KILL YOU]
-*- abstersiveTournitro It was all he could think to say and it didn't come out in his voice, at the end, tapering into a kind of rough snarl, as though descending into some pit of rage and only just barely keeping control.
<abstersiveTournitro> [what but the black parts didn't work,,,,,,,]
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [hahahaha]
-*- Rabbit now you're just mocking us
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [iT'S WHAT YOU GET]
<abstersiveTournitro> [;y]
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> [[Laughter]]
-*- Rabbit will casually
-*- Rabbit open the front door with knocking like some rifraf
-*- abstersiveTournitro And then the floor exploded.
-*- Rabbit and -oh god
-*- Rabbit backs right the fuck out and decides to go around instead
-*- Rabbit and look in through a window
-*- Rabbit oh god what
-*- abstersiveTournitro He dove more than was thrown forward, found purchase, held tight, twisted to see what he already knew was there.
-*- abstersiveTournitro What did they fucking do?
-*- Jaspers Jaspers would have acted out on Vergil's demand-- or /plea/, rather-- if he were able. The shock, the fear, the confusion over just what happened was too much for the fragile sprite to bare. He was frozen-- a deer in headlights, his furry noggin trying to piece things together...
-*- Jaspers Before he's gone, in a blur. To hide? To go back to the manor? To get help? He probably doesn't know, either.
-*- abstersiveTournitro A scaly hand lashed out, grabbed for the nearest person (enemy). "Tell me what you did to him now." The voice rasped like a sawblade, like a dragon's screech forming words, but just barely. Just barely human, anymore.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman *BANG* *BANG*-- whether the gunshots hit or missed was a mystery, in the derelict, destroyed room that was once the dining room. Not that it mattered-- it'd take so much more than just two bullets to stop an unholy *thing* like that, crashing brute force into him mouth first. The walkers weren't quite as horrible, quite as /gutwrechingly/ /viscious/ as th
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> is.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman He screamed bloody murder. Emphasis on bloody.
-*- Rabbit  8[
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Meanwhile Brenda calmly finished her food  because she was taught not 2 waste--
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman N o tho
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman He was grabbed roughly, the gun going off as a bullet found itself buried in the tacky wallpaper. The words almost failed to escape their cage of teeth, over the traumatic, unthinkable screams of his brother as he was torn into. But they did, sure enough. And they certainly weren't good to hear.
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "H-Hoped y'all liked /dinner/."
<Brenda|Danimals|Andyman> "It was a good one, wasn't it--"
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe YOU'RE NEXT.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He'll break your fucking neck.
-*- Rabbit should
-*- Rabbit should help or something christ what
-*- abstersiveTournitro Dead or not, that'll hurt, won't it?
-*- abstersiveTournitro Hope you like to suffer because he's not letting you off with anything less.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Say. Where's that vat.
-*- Rabbit god it's. just. something ticks in his head, something terrible and old and wiped from his circuitry and yet still there in this strange mishmash of peace and terror. Something terrible amongst screams and blood. The automaton darted back for the door, quickly hopping over the ruined floor and moving for a way into the dining room. Help humans. That's
<abstersiveTournitro> [OMFG RABBIT N O  I WILL CRY LEGITIMATELY TITS I LOVE YOU AUGH]
<Rabbit> what old coding told him. That's what moved his feet, seeing the two demons distracted with the men, ignoring the woman just nearby. He had to help. He shifted along the wall where the floor seemed least likely to give. His joints were oddly stiff, but that wasn't his concern at the moment. He had to help her out of here to safety.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe He tore and he tore and he tore until there was ,01nothing left. ,14It wasn't so simply a matter of life and death anymore, no. Such things were beyond him. He didn't care.
-*- Rabbit RABBIT YES)
<abstersiveTournitro> [RABBIT I'M CRY]
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe It was a matter of ,01what FUCKING HURT--
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Woman just nearby?
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman bold pls]]
-*- Rabbit hehe
-*- Rabbit I don't know where Brenda went so
-*- Rabbit gotta help
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe But no, he knew that wasn't enough. Even now, his tiny rage addled reptillian brain knew that. Something shifted, and his head snapped up like a creatured startled. Beady pink eyes glowered at the woman just ,01LEAVING ,14as if she did ,01NOTHING FUCKING WRONG.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman It would appear as though there's not another soul in that room to begin with, darlin'. Amidst the blood and flesh that were once Andy and Danny, unless Brenda has already joined her sons, she's nowhere to be seen in the room! What a shame. It's hard to say just where she wandered off to--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe no.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe NO.
-*- Rabbit oh really
-*- Rabbit then what the hell am I doing
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman was]]
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman gonna do a different thing but oop nevermind????]]
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe THAT FAT SOW NEEDED TO GET WHAT WAS COMING TO HER!
-*- Rabbit blinks at where he was going, once having thought he saw someone there,-you can keep doing your thing
-*- Rabbit i got this
-*- Rabbit but now there wasn't anyone there, instead just bloody messes that his robotic mind fought to realize as what it was, instead of his perception going funny and making him forget. His limbs shook slightly, as they fought to stay working with a near empty boiler. Rabbit didn't notice.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe With an earsplitting screamed that sounded more machine than anything human, he darted away from the pile of viscera and follow the scent that could only be described as ,01fat bitch.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Suuuuuuuup Snow8all--
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Oh you look
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Peeved
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe His ankles ached and screamed for release and his body was spotted with holes, dark awful holes that bore into his very being and everything just--
-*- abstersiveTournitro Let's see how you like drowning, Danny-boy -- let's see how you like electricity burns. Danny was dumped in the vat of holy water carefully from above, and lightning like blue fire crackled through it, shot like a bullet from his fingertips.. Almost as painful as the acid it's like to his brother. You enjoy that.
-*- Rabbit oh god
-*- abstersiveTournitro Speaking of his brother --
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Bled. Bled with pain. He knew he wouldn't last. Lost too much blood already. He'd burn out, as so many of him had before.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe But this.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe This he had to finish.
-*- Rabbit definitely saw that, and forcibely shut his eyes so that the only sense of the frying human was the sounds of his pained screams. That is, if he could get any out.
-*- Rabbit needs. needs to leave. needs to do something. But all he can do is shake and watch the bloodied pair and wait because he was never the one to be cool with death and destruction and blood.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman A cacphony of screams sounded through the originally peaceful farm house-- agonizing screams. The kind that you'd normally hear every time you slept. It was ironic, really-- dying by an electrocution when electricity was the only thing keeping them safe, nowadays.
-*- Brenda|Danimals|Andyman Was.
<-> Brenda|Danimals|Andyman is now known as Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman ... Except they were already dead s o
-*- Rabbit two down one to go, one supposes
-*- Rabbit extra dead
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe brendead
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman The St Deads
-*- abstersiveTournitro Like a snake, like a predator, he slipped silently back up through the gaping hole in the floor --  brother was there, a silent shuddering mass of building rage and hate and revenge. He crept closer, hissed, a soft question, concern. Stop. He'll make sure she pays -- you are hurt and weak and burning.
-*- ZeeZee well would you look at that Dirk was back, he must be sleeping in his session. Huh, fancy how that works ou-What the flying rat fuck.
<-> ZeeZee is now known as PrinceStrider
-*- Jaspers Where /was/ that woman? That's really a question for the ages, isn't it. A fearful shriek would pierce the air-- and if Dante were to trace the scent as well, he'd find the source.
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman Ironically, she was just by the tree. The very tree where Rabbit and the part-demon brothers crashed next to, swing and all. It's a shame Jaspers is never going to want to go on that thing ever again. He' held in a vice grip, a kitchen knife to his throat-- as if threatening those /beasts/ would work, some how.
<Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman> "Get-- get /th/'/fuck/ back, I don't /wanT/ /TO/ have to do this!"

-*- Jaspers swearins r00d
-*- PrinceStrider taking in his surroundings Dirk caught eye of the robot. Flash stepping up to the automaton's side, he didn't want to catch eye of the dino dweebs, he glanced over. "Hey."
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe There she was. Just by that godawful tree. That nasty awful tree he dare not remember because ,01pain.,14 That didn't matter right now. Nothing mattered right now.

-*- cocksureGuttersnipe ...chirp.
-*- PrinceStrider what you a bird now?
-*- Rabbit doesn't realize Dirk's there until he speaks, causing his rattling frame to jump, with a weak bit of steam escaping him and oh god that scream he just-- "W-w-w-w-w-" His head twitched to the side repeatedly, his systems trying to focus and work and fix the only thing he could.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe It catches him off gaurd, but he doesn't retaliate. He knows better than that. They wouldn't hurt him. They'd never hurt him. And he's in so much pain and it burns and it sizzles and--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Look what they ,01did ,14to him--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Look what they did--
<PrinceStrider> Hey it's cool.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Chirrrr.
-*- PrinceStrider he pats the robot on the back gently. He couldn't say he wasn't admiring those mechanics. Damn this guy was an old piece of work. He could really appreciate the craftsmanship, but, it didn't look like those parts were doing the guy much good right then.
<Rabbit> "W-w-w-wa-wa-" Another weak hiss from his cheeks.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Chirp.
-*- Rabbit if this wasn't all so terrible you two would be adorable
-*- Jaspers He wanted to say something, anything. But the paralyzing fear, the knife at his throat, the state that Dante and Vergil was in and the *screams*. He could hear the screams, even from just outside. Farther and distant, but he knew who was responsible for them. And that just made them so, so much more worse-- burned them into his conscious even further, bou
<Jaspers> nd to plague his catnaps for some time to come.
-*- Jaspers He takes it back.
-*- Jaspers He likes the manor better.
-*- Rabbit likes the manor better too
-*- PrinceStrider giving another pat on the back, "Yeah let's get out of here... So much for a good dinner." Grabbing the robot Dirk throws the guy up, carrying him like a sack of potatoes as he flashes over to the wench holding Jaspers back with a knife. "That's pretty damn rude you know."
-*- abstersiveTournitro He crept closer, dared not touch for fear of agitating the wounds, open and sore and bleeding -- it smelled like copper, sharp and tangy, but made him only want to gently clean the wounds -- made him want to kill what caused them, and not for the sake of blood.
-*- Rabbit that wasn't the best idea, Dirk. The automaton panics as his loop is broken, trying to squirm free from his grasp before he gets carried away to god knows where and christ- his panic causes him to try and release a jet of flame, but that only exudes a pathetic hiss as he finds out the fuel was drained completely.
-*- Rabbit godomn hollbollos
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe It ,01hurts.
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman  8y
-*- PrinceStrider looks right over to the robot in his grasp. "Chill it's cool man, just getting us regrouped, not gonna hurt you so stop squirming."

-*- Rabbit seems to disappear for a moment
-*- abstersiveTournitro He was trapped in instinct, thinking only of revenge and never words, never questions -- almost. But buried there, buried in the concern, he observed exactly what they did. Dunked him in holy water like a baptismal, chained him and burned crucifixes into his skin like a mimicry of the very crucifixion they depicted. And his arms. Gone like they'd been chopped off cleanly.
-*- abstersiveTournitro And somewhere in the animal instinct, his human mind questioned why? Why would they do such a thing?

-*- abstersiveTournitro His stomach burned, his throat burned, he wanted to swallow the very holy water he'd just drowned the human in as though it would cleanse him, and if not at least he would be dead. Skreee. He turned his eyes, predatorial and suddenly all too demonic, on the very woman his brother was staring down.
-*- Jaspers It's enough to draw a blood-curdling yell from the sprite, as they're pulled right from the grip that once held him back. His heart stopped as he felt the knife blade over his fur, but nothing cut. He was so, so high up now-- and the ground was so, so far beneath him. The barn, the farm... /Vergil/ and /Dante/.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe It was too much. All too much. Everything hurt and everything wanted him dead. And and and--
-*- Jaspers The final two were ultimately the reason why he looked away.

-*- PrinceStrider will just sort of... Reach up to grab Brenda by her hair, intending to drag her over to Dante.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He stalked closer like an encroaching nightmare, eyes set on the woman -- the cat was immaterial, a casualty of revenge if need be. Electicity crackled like an aura, like a live wire in water.
-*- PrinceStrider if you don't mind.
-*- abstersiveTournitro You might wanna step back, Dirk.
-*- abstersiveTournitro The demons are pretty. Demonic. And angry.
-*- Rabbit can't think about what he just did, which was basically saving someone and letting another die in the process. He can't think of much, really, seeing as his systems can't go anymore, he manages to at least land a good distance away. He lets go of Jaspers just before landing, slowing down before tumbling back to the ground, powerless.

-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman you but
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman arms
-*- PrinceStrider sweet alright I'm just gonna... Walk away to bleed somewhere for a bit.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe He might not have arms, but he doesn't need them. He still has claws and teeth and flames, and that torso was looking awfully ,01squishy,14 right now.
-*- Rabbit there's always rabbut and jasp, Dirk
-*- PrinceStrider yeah gonna go over there...
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe you might want to walk faster
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe they're not very good at discerning what's friend or foe right now
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe not very good at all
-*- PrinceStrider did I say walk? I meant flash step.
-*- abstersiveTournitro good idea
-*- PrinceStrider yep.
-*- PrinceStrider just gonna sort of fall over... Next to Rabbit. ... ... "Hey Jaspers..."
-*- Rabbit hisssss
-*- PrinceStrider sort of props himself up and leans over the robot, grunting lightly before starting to open Rabbit up. Man this guy was a piece of work, he's just going to examine things a bit first, maybe make some repairs aaaaaaaand alright, time to get this guy some water.

-*- PrinceStrider or would you rather be completely able to do speak or do anything really because I can do that too. :I
-*- Rabbit also afterwards could you fasten my belts properly I didn't-no rude
-*- Rabbit just
-*- Rabbit gimme water
-*- PrinceStrider WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND BEING BAD WITH FIGURATIVE HORSES?
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman It really would have been better unexpected, quick and over with like a bandaid. But she didn't deserve that, did she? After the things her and her family ultimately /did/ to survive, it was only just. But that didn't make the screams any less ear-shattering. That didn't make any less blood spill. It didn't lessen the pain, either.
-*- PrinceStrider geeze.
-*- Jaspers And the one thing that Jaspers saw before losing consciousness...
-*- Jaspers Was that.
-*- Brenda|Deadny|Andeadman (?) Brenda will remember that--
-*- Rabbit ah geeze

-*- abstersiveTournitro He held the limp limb for a moment, stared at it with a moment of fascination -- then simply dropped it, like a cat suddenly disinterested in its plaything. But it was much more than that. It was a cat basking in the screaming and writhing, not a predator but a torturer.
*** Mode #bromegle +o PurpleKoopa by ChanServ
-*- abstersiveTournitro Clik clik chirrr. He slinked close to his sibling, the crackling around him diminishing until it settled into his scaly skin -- he was steady and solid and coiled close, as close as he could without touching. Never leaving never again come move leave --
-*- abstersiveTournitro Skrrrree. A soft encouragement, an undertone of concern. Cannot stay here. Have to retreat --
-*- Rabbit hopefully to where jasp, rabbit, and dirk are all laying
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Some were not so ,01forgiving.,14 Because it still burned. Because it still ached and stung and ,01writhed--
-*- abstersiveTournitro But the blood was everywhere still, still oozing and exuding and seeping all too rapidly, and it smelled like the smoldering remains of a life led in Maine, screams echoing down just the same. The scene was all too familiar and they were, once again, helpless to do anything but run.
-*- PrinceStrider did I mention that Dirk was giving Rabbit some water? Because that's totally a thing he was doing.
-*- abstersiveTournitro But his brother always liked to try to fight.
-*- Rabbit oh thank goodness
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And someone need to pay--
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Pay for all the PAIN and HATE and BURNING AND SAWING--
-*- Rabbit is feeling better already--his fingers twitch at first, but eventually the little motions shift up his frame and soon, mismatched opics flicker open and-"Hey! Wh-what do you think you're doin' in dere!" He shifts away from Dirk, shutting his open chest cavity. "I already need it fixed from the l-last guy to dig around in there."
-*- abstersiveTournitro It wasn't his right to take revenge with him. He should've been burning in that holy water with him or should've gotten him out of there.
<PrinceStrider> Yeah? Well good thing I did that. That guy obviously has no idea how to work robots.
-*- abstersiveTournitro That didn't make it unsatisfactory to watch.
-*- abstersiveTournitro But it was still painful. Humanity was lost to primal rage, only little shimmers of fear and hate holding true -- it hurt more than anything to see him like this, in the human heart still beating in his chest.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Fake heart. They were dead. Didn't mean it hurt any less.
<Rabbit> "And you do?" He asked skeptically, buttoning his shirt and zipping his armpit-high pants back up.
<PrinceStrider> You bet your armpit-high pants I do.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe So he ripped and ,01tore,14 and ,01shredded ,14and ,01screamed ,14 until he had nothing left to tear and nothing left to scream.
-*- Jaspers  3:>
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe When he could only heave. Heave and shudder.
<Rabbit> "Yeah well, you d-don't know nearly as much as my Pappy does." did-does-that's not something he wants to talk about, actually. "...Wh-where are they?" He asked, looking around, audio processors registering the distant screaming whilst photoreceptors landed on Jaspers. "Ah-! are you alr-right?"
-*- PurpleKoopa dante do you need to throw up
-*- PurpleKoopa there's an outhouse round back
<PrinceStrider> I don't know who this Pappy is actually, and the others are over that way...
-*- PrinceStrider points a thumb over in the direction of the dino dweebs.
<PrinceStrider> As for Jaspers well he's out cold...

-*- Rabbit can't see it, his systems decide to block it once more now that they're properly powered. Still, he gets a hazy sense of trouble. "...Are you alright?" He asked Dirk, buttoning his vest once more before checking if his goggles were around his neck.
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [sam can you catch the red and blue frogs]
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [careful]
<cocksureGuttersnipe> [they bite]
-*- Jaspers Out like a light, unfortunately. He's seen a /lot/ of shit, since he first arrived at the manor. A lot of which he'd rather not reminisce about. But seeing Vergil and Dante-- the people that he saw as the most trustworthy, friendliest people here rip that woman-- those people-- into shreds? It.

-*- Jaspers He is nICE,,,
-*- abstersiveTournitro He moved close again -- then a very soft nudge, a rumbling hum in the throat, affection and sadness mingled. Turn away. These eyes had seen enough ruined homes and mangled bodies to last them eternity. Too much.
-*- Jaspers He managed to stir a bit, though, at being adressed by the automaton. It was... a poor place to pick for catnaps, but could you blame him? It was *mortifying*-- fainting was inevitable. Only a weak, shaky mrowl was his response-- almost like a whisper.

-*- cocksureGuttersnipe It was all too much, and nothing could be done. Nothing could stop this awful shivering in his heart and he didn't know why. It ached and ached and nothing would make it better. So dizzy. So hazy.
-*- Rabbit talks with brother will probably wind up being more spread out then she is whoops)
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe He barely acknowledges the nudge, answering with another croak and a nuzzle of his own. He didn't like it here. Here wasn't safe. Nothing safe. They needed to go.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe He tried to strech his wings, but couldn't, snapping them swifly against his body with a hiss. They were tattered and torn and ached like everything else. The rage was slowly slipping away, replaced by pain and fear. So tired. So small.
-*- Rabbit appears to be ignored by dirk? though, he can't help his already drifting eyes as they moved back to the feline. So he climbed to his feet, and came to rest a clothed hand on Jasp's shoulder. "W-wake up, kitty. We can't be nappin out here like this." Not-not after that happened.

-*- abstersiveTournitro And so they'll go. The crosses etched into his brother's skin burned against his own scales as he shouldered what was left of the beaten halfling's tattered torso, holds tight, lifted him all too easily in a bastardized piggy back. It blazed  little different from the scalding fire too close, leaving the acrid stench of singed hair alongside fainter burning death -- the memory felt more like a tingle than a tidal wave, and the pain felt like a faint brush compared to what he was sure it was for his brother.

<Jaspersprite> "But-- but i--" The sprite swallowed hard. He was positive he could have done /something/ differently to change things. It /did/ seem too good to be true, didn't it? He should have just visited the cow, taken his meal to go and left. He could have convinced everybody to come with him! He's got charisma coming out of his tail.
<abstersiveTournitro> [where did it cut off 8y]
-*- Jaspersprite ... He could have done /something/. He knows he could have.
-*- PurpleKoopa -- the memory felt more like a tingle than a tidal
<abstersiveTournitro> [thank u peeks]
-*- abstersiveTournitro the memory felt more like a tingle than a tidal wave, and the pain felt like a faint brush compared to what he was sure it was for his brother.
-*- Jaspersprite He rises from the dirt ground at a slow, painfully slow pace, his hat long since fallen off to some place on the farm ground or another. He didn't really need it, he thinks-- he could always get another one. And he just--
-*- Jaspersprite He just wanted to go home, now. The manor was so much nicer.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And so they went. They went and he hardly complained. Because he was tired and aching it felt good to simply lie down. To enjoy his brother's pleasantly warm scales and electric tingle. Nothing was safe, no. But his brother was safe enough.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe And maybe that was all he could hope for.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He did not so much as slow as he passed the trio on the ground, but rumbled throatily, "Come." This place was tainted, a burning wreck of what once was someone's life and livelihood. A burning wreck of what might have felt a little like home, and he felt sick.
<Rabbit> He comes to stand as well, assuming his six foot stature and trying not to look back. "...Coulda done something?" That mentality was all too familiar-he gave an artificial swallow. "Ain't nothin much too do about it n-now..." And then the blue scaley form passed, and his presence caused faint tinglings in Rabbit's wiring. He didn't know how to feel about the
<Rabbit> whole thing, but he knew he didn't want to be here. Still, he looked to Jaspers to see what he'd do.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe So he buried his head into the crook of his brother's neck-- or rather, what a human might call a neck-- with a low croak and let the life leave him. The scales fizzled away into skin, scars and burns still remaining etched, and the skulls and bones had melted away-- nothing more than convenient iconagraphy. Claws softened into toes, and teeth dulled only just so, as he drifted off to sleep.
-*- Jaspersprite ... Oh, yes. Dante and Vergil. They must have been going back to the house, he guesses. For some reason that only made him want to go to some other bubble. Some other house-- he didn't care where, just... away. Far, far away, where he could live out the rest of his unlife in peace and happiness and with great friends that won't hurt eachother.
-*- Jaspersprite But no such place /existed/. There was nowhere else that he /could/ go, other than that godawful mansion again.
-*- Jaspersprite Green wasn't really a favored color of Jasper's, anyway.
-*- PurpleKoopa > jaspers: can you say "extreme mansion makeover"
-*- PurpleKoopa > buy some paint from the pink panther
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe The hair and eyes were the last to go, with ferocious red fading into soft white. Thick, silky strands started to fall over his face, obscuring his vision to near nothing, but he could hardly care less. He was already halfway into his own little world.
-*- Jaspersprite He simply... tried to look away from the two as they made their leave, fur on edge as he was so, so very still. He dared not utter a word, only a sheepish little mewl-- out of fear. What if one day the two-- what if-- what if they did the same to /him/?
-*- Jaspersprite Nobody was as good as he thought. Only Carley and Alpha, and he wasn't even /sure/ about the latter. Not quite yet, at least.
-*- cocksureGuttersnipe Somewhere far,,15far, far a,00way from here...

-*- Rabbit it's like mario and luigi, but with more blood
-*- PrinceStrider oops didn't even notice those guys.
-*- abstersiveTournitro He barely even noticed how upset the cat was, how battered the automaton was, how bloody the human was -- his brother was bloody and human enough, and it was far past time to return to the Manor and hole away in the den and guard it with as much ruthlessness as was necessary. He would do anything to protect this broken little boy that he loved so much.

-*- PrinceStrider does not have such bonds with his brother, because his brother's actually his ectobiological son. :I
-*- abstersiveTournitro And maybe it was because he was, on some quiet level, eager to return, but the ever-looming Manor seemed quickly within reach -- not quite safe, because the people here were dirty and sex-crazed and worthless to him, but one of them was a thorn in his brother's side and therefore an enemy.

<-> PrinceStrider is now known as KnightStrider
-*- abstersiveTournitro ...and then he vanished up the stairs with only the faint scent of smoke in his wake. Up through winding halls, narrow, strange staircases, to a small door that he opened very carefully, to reveal a room that this time was...

-*- Rabbit wasn't particularly paying, his mind wandering to what he could remember, what his processors refused to compute, and then suddenly he forgot it all as the pair practically vanished. This caught his attention enough to cause some iritation, and then the tin man comment- "You s-seem to have me mistaken for my silver brother, shorty." He replied with
-*- KnightStrider what? You're just going to leave me with your wreckage?
-*- PurpleKoopa i tuched alfas bob lol
<Rabbit> an edge of irritation.
<KnightStrider> woah there man you obviously dont know who youre talking to i am in no way the shorty here that would be john
<KnightStrider> john is so short you cant even see him
<KnightStrider> careful
<KnightStrider> you might step on him
-*- Jaspersprite He probably wouldn't be able to look at Dante or Vergil the same way ever again. Hell, Jaspers wasn't sure if he wanted to /see/ those two anymore. He just wanted to-- to go up and see Carley, maybe. Or Alpha. Carley or Alpha or Roxy or just /anybody/ that he could lean on, that he was sure wouldn't hurt him.
-*- Jaspersprite Dave's question is ignored for a few stale moments-- as though the sprite didn't quite hear his question at first. He's, ah. He's got a lot of things on his mind at the moment-- and it shows. "... I--"
<Jaspersprite> "I dont wanna talk about it."
<KnightStrider> you sure man? cus i can listen if you need someone
-*- Jaspersprite That wasn't /entirely/ true-- he did want to talk about it. Just... with somebody else, no offense to Dave. Somewhere secluded, with a person he knows he could tell every worry he has to. He takes a deep breath, eyes glued to the living room carpet. "I am sure."
-*- KnightStrider siiigh. "alright but if theres anything i can do to help you out just call me over alright?"
-*- Rabbit also doesn't really seem in the mood for quipping back and forth with some strange human in shades. The pain the feline was going through, though... he dropped the tough act, and rested a hand on Jaspers' back. God was he reminding him of The Jon.
-*- Rabbit they'd probably be best friends.
-*- Jaspersprite im jaspers & hes rabbit & were best friends
<Jaspersprite> "Uhuh." He didn't want to say too much-- not after that disaster of a dinner. Any other day, he'd be happy to talk! Hell, he'd go on for an hour at a time about how lucky he is to be here, or about how nice and sunny it is. But it wasn't in him, today. Every word just...
-*- Jaspersprite Stopped at his lips.
-*- Jaspersprite He leans into the metal hand, a bit.
-*- Jaspersprite could go for a nap.
-*- Rabbit swallows, his face plates shifting a bit to be similar to lips being pressed into a line. "Well, uh... maybe we should get some rest! It's been a long day, y'know?" He said with a nervious laugh and a slightly cheerier tone. He didn't feel it, but making others smile was always a thing he was good at. "Wouldn't wa-want to wake up late tomorrow or anything."
<Rabbit> He wasn't particularly into his words, though. That wasn't new for him, either.
-*- abstersiveTournitro The room was much smaller, suddenly, than the amusement park in Hawaii that it'd been before -- it was, in fact, a room, four royal purple walls, a window looking out into thick woodlands with heavy red drapes and a king-sized bed at the middle, the sheets pristine blue. There was a bathroom door open with the light on, a TV displaying Gredo firing the first shot at Han Solo.
-*- abstersiveTournitro Every good fan knew Han shot first, originally. But it was how he remembered it.
-*- abstersiveTournitro The limp body was deposited with great care, blood rapidly staining the bedspread. It would wash, so he crawled like a lizard alongside his brother, held him tightly, close, ignoring the way his claws nipped the fabric of the bed and the way everything felt against this too-warm too-bulky body, because he had to be ready -- had to be able to protect this little fragile precious body, because he'd failed too often.
-*- abstersiveTournitro And this place was as close to safe as anything ever had been for them, short of their parents' arms.
-*- Jaspersprite Some rest? Yeah, rest sounded nice. He could go for a catnap. He could go for a /long/ one. It would be okay in his books if he never woke up from it. He tries to force a smile of his own-- for Rabbit's sake, if anything-- but he's just... not able. "Okay. Lets go. I am really sleepy and."
<Jaspersprite> "Yeah."
-*- Jaspersprite ... "Oh uhm. I am jaspers. :<"
<Rabbit> Rabbit gives his own sad smile, nodding in agreement. "My name is Rabbit." He said with less gusto then usual. Maybe he should say the bit... "...and I wa-was built back in 1896, y'know, when it was still illegal for women to read and right! and all the men dressed like mister peanut!" He slowly gained more cheer to his words as he spoke the well practiced
<Rabbit> words, even coming to smile a bit himself. Now if only the Spine was here to deliver his line...
<Jaspersprite> "It was illegal for women to read and write? 3:" That seems to sour his mood even further, if only for a few seconds afterwards. "Well. It is nice to meet you rabbit." He'd usually have some other long winded intro to specify himself, but... yeah.
<Jaspersprite> "You saved me you know. I dont think dante or dirk or anybody else would have did that. Can--"
<Jaspersprite> "Can we be friends?"
<Rabbit> He gets a little down when the joke rouses a frown instead of laughter. "O' course we can, Jaspers." He said, smiling a bit more.
-*- Jaspersprite /That/ remark is what actually manage to revive his long since dead and buried smile-- that smile that was so far down the road you never would have thought it'd make a return. It's soft and fragile, like a single rude remark or wrong word would bring it crumbling down once again. "I would like that. Purr purr."
<Jaspersprite> "Good night rabbit. And--" He brings a tentacle to his lips, as though he was unsure if the warning would even be needed. "Be safe. Okay? 3:"
